If you evaluate any event in your life as a lesson or punishment, think about why you think so.
Sins and punishments are concepts of the 3-D world, where there is a confrontation between good and bad, judgment, and evaluation.
Learn from this article what the meaning of negative experience is, what tasks the soul sets for itself before incarnating.
What task does the soul set before incarnation
When you are in the spiritual world – before incarnating – you know everything.
The physical body is three-dimensional.
The soul vibrates even higher than your fairy-tale ideas about the 5th dimension, where “there is only good, only love, only light, only peace.”
The soul is located higher – at the level of the 7th dimension.
Until the moment the soul enters the body, it knows everything – any meetings, forks in the road, and options for the development of situations.
For example, whether you will have the potential to give birth to ten children or have no children at all, live to old age or die young due to illness, etc.
The soul knows in advance any potentials and possibilities.
Based on the task that the soul sets for itself before incarnation (what it wants to study, what experience to gain, what to master), the soul determines in advance the choice of parents, race, country, date and time of birth, etc.
In the 3rd dimension, incarnation into a body is possible only through the union of a sperm with an egg, which requires, among other things, sexual contact.
In the 5th dimension, a child can appear in the mother’s womb without sexual contact.
The soul knows everything because it is not limited by the three-dimensional consciousness (of its parents).

Punishment or Soul’s Choice
When you wonder whether this is a punishment (some life situation), ask yourself: who is punishing you? Your wisest (unlike you) soul, which is at the level of the 7th dimension? Or a terrible god? What makes you think someone is punishing you?
To find answers to these questions, you first need to sort out your own worldview, what is in it, what beliefs and truths are embedded in it, and by whom.
You are not in prison, exile, or hell to receive punishments.
Whatever difficulties you face in life, whatever you overcome, all of this gives you the opportunity to grow, and your soul the opportunity to gain experience.
The soul vibrates at the last individual level of dimension; beyond that, only group consciousness exists.
In the world of the soul, there is no right or wrong, no mistakes or victories. There is only experience, through which you and your soul grow.
When the body dies, part of the soul from the causal body returns back, carrying with it into the piggy bank a pearl gathered from all the life experience.

Any experience is important to the soul
Most souls have incarnated from a hundred to thousands of times. Sometimes many incarnations are needed to assimilate a small, simple lesson.
There are “repeat” souls. These are souls that in a past manvantara or civilization development could not achieve enlightenment, and they come again.
In other words, everyone moved into the 5th dimension, while they remained for a second year – reincarnating in the 3rd.
There are entire “repeater” races. There is an opinion that these are Negroid races.
To advance them, advanced, enlightened entities, such as Nelson Mandela, incarnate among them at certain times.
Indigenous peoples are also considered among such races. They have a different physiology and skin structure.
For anyone interested in this topic, I recommend reading the books by Max Heindel: “The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception or Mystic Christianity (An Elementary Treatise on Man’s Past Evolution, Present Constitution and Future Development)” and “The Rosicrucian Philosophy in Questions and Answers.”
Humanity is now beginning to rise. It will not be worse than it was.
Everyone together entered the lowest point and, starting from a certain period, began to rise and return.

Some lessons the soul chooses to learn in a specific incarnation
Lesson of compassion, acceptance
There are completely different types of lessons – for example, when you learn compassion, love, and acceptance.
Sometimes dozens of incarnations are required to master such a theme (for instance, the theme/experience of “feeling love”).
Everything is connected to everything.
In reality, you are infinitely more than just a small human being or a small human “self.”
For this reason, the answer to the question “is childlessness a choice of the soul?” is inherently multi-variant. It may be a choice of your soul, or it may not; perhaps you need to learn certain lessons, or perhaps not.
Lesson of rejection
When you start frightening yourself with tales of punishment, consider whether a soul that is infinitely wiser than you could punish you in any way. No.
But the soul may choose to undergo certain lessons, to go through specific events in order to acquire some experience.
Some experiences may seem strange. For example, the experience of living in the body of a homosexual person.
Normal relationships built on love can exist between such people.
Nevertheless, even in the present time, incarnation for the purpose of experiencing life as a person of non-traditional orientation is a colossal challenge (of acceptance, patience).
If the soul wants to go through the experience of being rejected by society, it is unlikely to choose an incarnation where “everyone is glad to see it.” More likely, it could be a life where everyone, including parents and society, rejects the person.
Everything matters to the soul – any experiences. When incarnating, you do not remember this.
Sometimes, especially when you are working through your traumas, you may fragmentarily recall your past lives.
Yet you still do not remember why in a particular situation you acted one way and not another.
If the soul chooses the experience of rejection, it may incarnate as a person of non-traditional orientation.
If the soul needs to go through the experience of abuse, it might, for example, be born as an ancient monarch who sends people to their deaths, is extremely selfish, and power-hungry.
Not every transgender person undergoes the lesson of rejection. But among such people, there are certainly those who do undergo the lesson of rejection.
All questions like “do all gays undergo the lesson of rejection/is infertility a punishment/do children born through IVF lack a soul” and similar ones are devoid of love.
In all such questions, love is absent. Do you make a choice from love or from fear?
What lesson do the souls of children with special needs carry
The soul chooses to enter a body with congenital features.
Children diagnosed with cerebral palsy or Down syndrome are barely aware of themselves in their bodies.
These children have only a very small part of their soul residing in the body. Entering such a body is not a lesson for these children.
Most often, such children are advanced souls who come to Earth in order to teach a lesson to their parents — so that the parents may learn love and unconditional acceptance.
It is the parents of special needs children who need to expand their worldview and their usual picture of the world.

Illnesses — a soul’s choice or cause/effect
The soul does not make choices about whether to be sick or not. This is done unconsciously by the person, implementing the principle of cause and effect.
Diseases are caused by the “mistakes” of the egoistic part of a person.
Explore the psychosomatics of diseases. This will help you determine whether you are potentially at risk for a particular illness.
A person who has no reason to be sick will not get sick. If you were born healthy, your illnesses do not depend on the desires of the soul.
Exceptions are cases where the soul chooses to incarnate into an already unhealthy body (for example, the body of a person disabled from birth).

Acceptance as the foundation of development
In any case, whatever happens, “theme #1” arises — acceptance of the situation.
As long as you do not accept the situation, nothing changes.
When something changes after a prolonged “dead end,” it may be related to the person finally accepting their situation and allowing what must happen to unfold.
The project website has a series of articles dedicated to the topic of soulmates, twin flames, and the like.
The concept of a soulmate does not imply the existence of only you and “someone else.” As a rule, a person has a vast number of soulmates.
According to some data, there may be over 1,700 of them.
Some of you are wondering how to understand this situation — whether it is a lesson or a choice of the soul.
By asking such a question, you unconsciously assert that there is something in your life that your soul does not know about.
In other words: you, a three-dimensional being, are immersed in your petty games, while those for whom time and space do not exist, and who surpass an entire galaxy in size, know nothing about you and do not even suspect your existence.
Do you still think that life or the universe is punishing you? Share your realizations. What clicked for you?
